I can certainly do that, and I can see how my comment came across as unnecessarily harsh. I just want to be clear that my issue was with the reasoning, not the position, and not th…

Not to mention, as has been said many times before, there isn't much incentive to build out manufacturing in the US when its trade policy is constantly shifting at the whims of one…

It gives a few reasons why you're still not getting that industrial base back, even after tariffs.

I think this is an uncharitable interpretation.

On the contrary, you haven't explained why discoverability matters, or why any of us should care. You just take it as a given that it justifies the means. I believe that is what th…

This accurately describes the front page of reddit, too.

"Foreman says, 'These jobs are going, boys, and they ain't coming back'" -Bruce Springsteen (1984)

This makes as much sense as the notion of "crony communism," which is to say, it doesn't. Ignoring the harmful side effects of an economic system makes one an ideologue.

Blue collar workers have understood this for a long time, and even occasionally took up arms against their employers. It's the white collar folks who are just starting to figure th…

I think this bubble makes sense. Any investor who believes AI is the future--that is, that AI will disrupt entire industries and replace labor in quite a few ways-- must have a sli…

You didn't learn that in civics/history class; you made it up.

Are you in favor of HN allowing advertisements, shilling, or spam in these threads? Because those things are free speech. Would you like to allow comments about generic ED pills? I…

The "malice" part of the razor is bait. People typically act out of self-interest, not malice. That's why anyone who parrots Hanlon's Razor has already lost; they fell for the fals…

Yep, "Hanlon's Razor" is pseudo-intellectual nonsense. It sets up a false dichotomy between two characteristics, neither of which is usually sufficient to explain a bad action.

They will think this right up until these things affect them or their community. Then it will be someone else's fault--someone outside of their tribe--that it happened.

This offers nothing insightful or useful, and doesn't even address a fundamental problem. It's the sort of thing someone says when they don't understand a topic well enough to weig…

It could be stable in the US. The basic idea behind Keynesian economics is: during contractions, decrease taxes and increase spending; during expansions, increase taxes and decreas…

A lot of people don't understand that collecting data is actually expensive and difficult when it doesn't involve surreptitiously stealing it via some piece of tech.

If only you were just giving them your own data. In reality, you're giving them data about your friends, relatives, and coworkers without their consent. Let's stop pretending there…

That will be quietly removed later.

>If you lived in these communities, unless you are neurodivergent, you would be doing the same thing. As someone who grew up in one of these communities, this has not been my exper…

They will listen to anyone who tells them what they like to hear. They will not listen to anyone who tells them what they don't like to hear. They shop around for truths they prefe…

Personal responsibility applies to improving and maintaining one's own intellect, and not relying on others to do it.

No, the dips resulted in government interventions--like the Fed raising liquidity or Trump removing some tariffs--which then caused stocks to rally again. The term "Fed put" is dec…
